Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 578 Run!

In the depths of chaos, a figure was shuttling between star fields.

Since escaping from the chaotic time and space, Jiang Sheng has continued to search for the location of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Even with the signposts provided by Emperor Huaguang and the star map provided by the Chixiao Sect, trying to find a place in the depths of chaos is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The great world is indeed vast and boundless, but the vastness of chaos is limitless.

The central region of the universe encompasses all the big worlds Jiang Sheng knows about except the Mountain and Sea Realm, as well as more than 90% of the small and medium-sized worlds. The remaining 10% are just scattered on the edge of the central region.

It can be said that all living things and sentient beings are basically in this corner of the universe.

Outside the central region of the universe, all directions are in chaos. The depths of chaos here are far beyond the void chaos of the central region of the universe.

And no one knows how big or how deep the Chaos Depths are.

Even those who have reached the state of mastering the Dao and possessing the true yang of the most powerful being cannot comprehend the entirety of chaos.

Originally, Jiang Sheng planned to find Yinmu first, kill him and then go look for the Mountain and Sea Realm.

But Yin Mu was extremely vigilant. What he left outside the vortex of time and space was just a tiny trace, and there was no way to find out where his true body was.

Today, Immortal Lord Fatian Xiangyu is just a remnant soul, barely surviving with the help of two Mahayana immortal treasures. Being able to discover that one trace is already his limit.

Jiang Sheng was not anxious even though he could not find any trace of Yinmiao. He knew that Yinmiao had followed him, and he would show up again later.

Therefore, Jiang Sheng chose to look for the Mountain and Sea Realm first. Once he found the Mountain and Sea Realm and anchored the mark, the sect would naturally open up a road to lead the Mountain and Sea Realm back to the central region of the universe.

In the depths of chaos, the light and shadows are dim, and any source of light is not worth trusting.

The beacon and the star disk hung in front of Jiang Sheng, guiding him to the vague direction.

It is unknown how long the Mountain and Sea Realm has been lost in the depths of chaos, while the depths of chaos have been formed for at least a million years. No one knows to what extent this chaos has spread, so the location of the Mountain and Sea Realm has become extremely vague.

In the depths of chaos there are numerous broken worlds and dead galaxies, but they are filled with loneliness and desolation. Sentient beings who have lived in the depths of chaos for a long time will inevitably become gloomy in their hearts, their spirits will be covered with dust, and their souls will become different.

Even the most tolerant person would inevitably go crazy in this desolate place.

Jiang Sheng has a somewhat aloof personality and likes quietness, but that doesn't mean he likes silence. He just says he is more patient.

In the depths of this chaos, Jiang Sheng could just keep on going without speaking to anyone.

But Yinmu couldn't do that.

The devil originates from the dark side of the universe. Compared with all living beings and sentient beings, its existence is natural, just like yang and yin.

The devil has his own thoughts and desires.

In other words, apart from those original demons born from the filth of Guixu, most of the demons in the universe became demons because living beings infinitely magnified their desires, indulged in their desires, acted recklessly, and were in harmony with the dark side.

Yinmiao also has his own desires. He likes conspiracies, likes to stir up trouble, likes to play with others, and even likes to wait until people become desperate and then clearly reveal everything he has done to them, causing them to completely collapse and watch them go mad helplessly.

In the depths of this chaos, everything was desolate and dead silent, leaving Yin Mu with no room to maneuver. He was not one of the original demons born in the abyss, who was bent on making all things return to the abyss and turn everything into nothingness.

Therefore, Yinmiao could no longer bear the loneliness.

Looking at the Seven Demonic Desire Lotus in his hand, the expression in Yinmiao's eyes kept changing, and finally turned into a ferocious look: "Lingyuan."

"My friend, since you are from the orthodox Taoist sect, do you know the changes in this chaos?"

"Chaos is boundless and limitless."

"That's not bad. It's often said that before the creation of the world, there was chaos. The so-called chaos means that everything is completely vague and unclear."

"What you said reminds me of a book of strange things I saw in the Daozang Pavilion. It says that the universe originated from chaos and is the result of chaos. It is not an innate creation."

If you venture into the depths of chaos alone for a long time, it is inevitable that your mind will become disturbed.

No matter how strong one's mind is, it is difficult to bear spending day after day in loneliness and desolation.

The ancestors of Penglai obviously took this into consideration. Letting Jiang Sheng go to the chaos to gain experience did not mean that they would abandon Jiang Sheng, a promising young man from Penglai, in the chaos.

Therefore, Taoist Xuanming communicated with Taoist Chixiao and sent Xu Yuanzi to deliver the star map, so that Jiang Sheng could accept Xu Yuanzi's invitation and find Jingyangzi under the pretext of helping Zhenjun Xingfa to be liberated, and then it would be natural for him to meet Xianjun Xiangyu.

It was natural for Xiangyu Xianjun to become Jiang Sheng's companion when he walked in the depths of chaos. He could chat with Jiang Sheng and answer his questions.

Although only a remnant of the soul of Xiangyu Immortal Lord is left, he at least has two Mahayana immortal treasures. They can protect Jiang Sheng in the depths of chaos and provide him with help in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Everything was arranged so naturally, and Immortal Lord Xiangyu was the chosen one.

Xiangyu Xianjun, who had conflicts with the two Xuanmen holy places of Qiankun Daozong and Kongdong Daozong in Jiuzhou Realm and whose own sect was also destroyed and his Taoist lineage was severed, could be said to be a target of just the right size and length.

Xiangyu Xianjun also knew this. The fact that Chixiao Daojun remembered him meant that he was still useful.

Useful people have value and have a chance to make a comeback.

Therefore, Xiangyu Xianjun will protect Jiang Sheng and help Jiang Sheng complete this mission and gain merit.

At this time, Xiangyu Immortal Lord estimated the time and realized that Jiang Sheng had not spoken for a long time. If he continued to remain silent, Jiang Sheng's spiritual platform would sooner or later be covered in dust. Therefore, Xiangyu Immortal Lord took the initiative to discuss chaos with Jiang Sheng.

Hearing Jiang Sheng mention that chaos existed before the universe, Xiangyu Xianjun seemed to recall something: "My life started off smooth sailing. When I was born, I was the legitimate son of a Yuanying family in the Jiuzhou Realm."

"When I was young, I showed my talent for cultivation, and was trained by my family to strengthen my body and sense the Qi, and then to draw the Qi into my body and practice Qi."

"For me, building a foundation in the Heavenly Dao and obtaining a top-grade golden elixir is just a piece of cake, and the Taiyi Yuanying is even more natural. When I reached the realm of Taiyi Yuanshen, my name was already well-known throughout the nine provinces."

"Then I traveled around Kyushu and even went to other realms outside Kyushu."

"That year, Daoist Master Chi Xiao happened to be giving a lecture at Tianshan in Cangwu Realm. I traveled to Cangwu Realm and was lucky enough to hear Daoist Master Chi Xiao giving a lecture on Primal Chaos."

"The Taoist said: Chaos comes first, spirit comes later, the Great Dao comes first, and the Dao is natural."

"Chaos is hazy and vague, and it is the source of everything. It is unknown and invisible, and it is mysterious. It is the beginning of all things and the root of all spirits."

"It is also called the innate chaos!"

"I often think about it, but the words of the Taoist are so profound that even if I reach the Mahayana realm, I still cannot fully understand the words of the Taoist."

"I think if I could understand it, I wouldn't be stuck in the Mahayana realm and have difficulty seeing Chunyang."

When Jiang Sheng heard Immortal Xiangyu mention Chunyang, he became a little curious.

Looking back at the first half of Xiangyu Xianjun’s life, his situation was so similar to Jiang Sheng’s.

He became famous at a young age and was a genius. He laid the foundation of the Heavenly Dao and then achieved the top-grade golden elixir. He had the Taiyi Yuanying and Taiyi Yuanshen and then achieved the Lianxu Dao fruit.

Immortal Lord Xiangyu had an even smoother career than Jiang Sheng. He made rapid progress all the way until he reached the fusion realm, and then attained the status of a Mahayana Immortal Lord.

Jiang Sheng thought for a long time and finally asked the question: "May I ask the Immortal Lord, is the Mahayana Dao Fruit your wish?"

Xiangyu Immortal Lord was silent. After a long time, Xiangyu Immortal Lord sighed and said, "What if it is my wish? What if it is not my wish?"

"The Mahayana realm is right there. Compared to the ethereal Pure Yang Dao Fruit, the Mahayana Dao Fruit that is within reach is more realistic."

There is no Mahayana in Penglai Taoist sect.

It's not just the Penglai Taoist Sect, the Qinghua Taoist Sect, the Tianhe Taoist Sect, and even the Chixiao Sect, all have no Mahayana.

The goal of all true disciples is to break through the realm and attain immortality.

All Taoist masters who have achieved immortality have only one goal, and that is to become a Pure Yang Heavenly Immortal.

Mahayana is certainly the last of the nine realms of cultivation, but once one has attained Mahayana, one can no longer attain Pure Yang.

In other words, the Mahayana realm is more like a flawed celestial being rather than a perfect celestial being like Chunyang.

This gap is not only reflected in the realm of cultivation, but also the gap in Tao Fruit and true spirit.

However, there are not many Taoist holy places. There is at least one in the universe, and at most two or three.

Apart from these Pure Yang holy places, who else dares to be confident enough to attain the Pure Yang realm?
Jiang Sheng will never forget why the Holy Star Sect, which had been causing trouble everywhere at the beginning of this ten thousand year catastrophe, was determined to cause trouble in the Mountain and River Realm and in the Xuanmen Taoism.

The leader of the Holy Star Sect, True Lord Yanxing, was blocked by the joint efforts of Penglai, Qinghua and Tianhe when he tried to break through to the Chunyang realm. If he had not escaped to the Panfeng Realm, he would have died long ago.

Now, Zhenjun Yanxing has become Emperor Da Ri, but he has been hiding on the star Da Ri and never leaves, because he is worried that the three Taoist sects will cause trouble for him.

Without going into the right and wrong and cause and effect involved, judging from the situation of True Lord Yanxing, Immortal Lord Xiangyu was probably also somewhat unwilling and reluctant.

After all, with Immortal Lord Xiangyu's qualifications, he is qualified to try the Pure Yang Realm.

Xiangyu Xianjun was in mixed feelings and didn't want to say much, so Jiang Sheng naturally kept silent and began to think about other topics.

Just as Jiang Sheng was thinking, Xiangyu Xianjun's voice suddenly rang out: "Little friend Lingyuan! Dodge quickly!"

Although Jiang Sheng was confused, his body had already begun to react. He knew that Xiangyu Xianjun would not speak without a purpose. Since he spoke, it must be an emergency.

Therefore, Jiang Sheng dodged as quickly as possible without hesitation.

In an instant, Jiang Sheng copied the signpost and the star map with one hand, and the whole person turned into a rainbow in the sky and disappeared on the spot, leaving only a lingering afterimage.

The magical power of Penglai, the sky turns into a rainbow.

But I saw a green rainbow piercing through the void and going away. In the blink of an eye, it crossed a million miles, and then in less than an instant, it crossed another million miles.

Even so, Jiang Sheng still did not let down his guard. He flashed 30 million miles in one breath before he stopped.

"Why don't you continue, little friend Lingyuan?"

"Immortal Lord, you can't escape."

Xiangyu Immortal Lord was speechless. He called Jiang Sheng "little friend" not only because Jiang Sheng was born in Penglai Taoist Sect and was guaranteed by Penglai and Chixiao families, but also because Jiang Sheng's talent was too extraordinary and his skills were truly extraordinary. He did not look like a newcomer in the early stage of refining emptiness.

In addition, Jiang Sheng killed Jing Yangzi after all. Even though Jing Yangzi was disabled, even though the Mahayana immortal treasure betrayed him, and Xiang Xi and Yang Jue's projections helped him, he still killed a person in the fusion realm after all.

Therefore, Immortal Lord Xiangyu subconsciously regarded Jiang Sheng as a cultivator in the fusion realm.

Only then did he remember that Jiang Sheng was just a newcomer in the early stage of refining emptiness.

The crisis that can be avoided by those in the Fusion Realm is very difficult to avoid in the early stage of Refinement Realm.

No matter how high your ability is, there is an essential difference between refining the void and integrating the body.

Simply overcoming the three disasters and achieving perfection in the Three Jewels is irreparable.

A Taoist master in the state of fusion with three flowers gathered at the top of his head can shatter billions of miles of void with a single thought. His soul and spirit are so powerful that he can leave his body and roam freely in the chaotic universe. The power of his soul alone can suppress all existences below the state of fusion.

But Jiang Sheng was only in the initial stage of refining the void. No matter how evil he was, he was still in the initial stage of refining the void. Jiang Sheng's soul, spirit, and body could not support Jiang Sheng's ability to shatter billions of miles of void with a single thought and cross millions of miles in an instant. Crossing tens of millions of miles in one breath was already his limit.

"The beast hidden there is at least a wild beast at the Fusion Realm."

Xiangyu Xianjun warned, but Jiang Sheng remained silent because he had already sensed the crisis.

A sense of crisis was before him, in that dark, vast, invisible chaos and desolation.

It was a creepy sense of crisis, as if there was something in the dark and invisible chaos, absorbing all light and heat, devouring all light and shadow elements, like a huge star in the universe.

But the Wujian Star is dead, while the wild beast hiding in the chaos is alive, and its intelligence is absolutely different from that of ordinary wild beasts. It has extremely high intelligence and knows how to hide itself, ambush, and launch sneak attacks.

However, most of the chaotic creatures are unscrupulous and rush around recklessly. No matter whether you are at the Lianxu stage or the Chunyang stage, they all want to eat you in one bite.

Jiang Sheng communicated with Xiang Yu Xianjun with his divine consciousness: "Xianjun, maybe you can sense what kind of wild beast that is?"

Xiang Yu Xianjun sighed: "I don't know, I am just a remnant soul, not a completely victorious figure."

"It is extremely difficult to sense its existence."

Jiang Sheng nodded, and the Qingping Sword was silently held in his palm.

Deep in the desolate chaos, Jiang Sheng, who was only seven feet tall, stood quietly in the void, staring at the deep chaos opposite, sensing the most primitive brutality and wildness hidden in the chaos.

There are also differences among chaotic creatures, and there are also differences between star beasts and wild beasts.

If star beasts are monsters born in the dead galaxy and relying on the stars and star fields, then wild beasts are ferocious beasts nurtured in the chaotic void.

The wild beasts are even more dangerous than the star beasts.

The wild beasts and star beasts of the same realm have to retreat away.

What Jiang Sheng had encountered before were all star beasts. After all, only those star beasts existed on the outskirts of the depths of chaos, and most of those star beasts ran to the outskirts to avoid the wild beasts.

The wild beasts are in deeper places. The chaos and nothingness are a comfortable breeding ground for them.

Jiang Sheng didn't expect that he would encounter a wild beast here, and it was a wild beast in the fusion realm.

If he could escape, he would never want to fight a life-and-death battle with a dangerous wild beast, but now the wild beast was hiding in the chaos, firmly locking onto Jiang Sheng's existence.

It would be fine if Jiang Sheng faced the enemy head-on, because the wild beast could not judge Jiang Sheng's strength and would be fine for a while; but as soon as Jiang Sheng retreated, he would surely be greeted with a ferocious attack from the wild beast.

Jiang Sheng asked again: "Can the Immortal Lord use the Mahayana Immortal Treasure to release the aura of the Mahayana realm to force back this wild beast?"

Immortal Xiangyu thought for a moment and decided to give it a try.

The next moment, the pearl light mirror formed by the combination of the Wanfa Mi Mirror and the Fa Tian Thousand Gilded Pearls flew out from Jiang Sheng's sleeve. As the bright skylight shone on it, the pearl light mirror formed by the combination of the two Mahayana immortal treasures emitted a dazzling brilliance, like a scorching sun, illuminating the dead and chaotic area and dispelling the nothingness and desolation.

It was at this time that Xiang Yu Xianjun made a hasty voice:
"That's not a wild beast in the fusion realm!"

"Ling Yuan, run!"
